Elder, contrary to both you and Love.wins, the God of the Bible indeed is love. But unlike your freewill god, my God only love His elect which He explicitly tells us were chosen by Him before the foundations of the world (it's Scriptural) and in His sovereign election He tells us it's an unconditional election (as taught by Paul in Romans 9:11)

Such is your god that his love cannot even save the sinner from their sins and all because the sinner has the ability to overpower your god even though you claim he loves everyone. What a sad and beggarly god you have.

For in that day in hell, you have to tell your fellow freewillers, that your god wanted to save them but didn't have the power to because of their freewill to thwart him.

Again and again the Arminians use verses like 1 Timothy 2:3-6 to paint the God of the Bible as a whimsical and desperate god. That He wants to save "everyone" and yet there's a "broad gate" waiting for these reprobates. Sure kind of makes the god these Arminians worship a weak and useless god. Wanting to save "everyone" and yet being almighty, cannot even do so.

What they fail to understand in Timothy and anywhere in the Bible that mentions "who wants ALL people to be saved", the "ALL" would indeed be saved but the "ALL" pertains to only His elect. And that being said, 100% of the elect WILL indeed be saved, not their any Tom, Dick or Harry.

"As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God." - does this exclude you?

"For the children being not yet born, neither having done any good or evil, that the purpose of God according to election might stand, not of works, but of him that calleth." - that God's election was unconditional?

"Therefore said I unto you, that no man can come unto me, except it were given unto him of my Father." - that Christ only died for those His Father gave Him?

Romans 1:20 simply says what it says and that's "For the invisible things of him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse" and it must be completed with the following verse,

"Because that, when they knew God, they glorified him not as God, neither were thankful, but became vain in their imaginations, and their foolish heart was darkened."

And that's why no one in mankind will be excused come judgement day for not believing in God Almighty.

Read all you want but until you come to the knowledge and truth about what Christ declared with regards to the Word, "Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God." John 3:3

"It is the spirit that quickeneth, the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life." John 6:63

"Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself, but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come." John 16:13

The last thing you want to do standing before God Almighty is to lay blame on anyone but yourself. Then it amounts to one not being repentant toward God for sinning. Just like our father Adam.

When confronted by God, this is what he said to his Creator, "The woman whom thou gavest to be with me, she gave me of the tree, and I did eat."

Adam instead of taking responsibility for his faithless act of not protecting his wife, turned and accused God for giving him the woman and that it was her who cause him to sin. Everyone but himself was wrong.

"God never condemned anyone to burn in hell. Those who will be destroyed in the lake of fire will be there by their own choices - because they didn't LOVE God enough to obey Him." -jerry6593

You preach a gospel of deceit and lies! This is what Paul declared -

"Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour? What if God, willing to shew his wrath, and to make his power known, endured with much longsuffering the vessels of wrath fitted to destruction." Romans 9:21,22

And Peter - "...being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed." 1 Peter 2:8

"Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created." Revelation 4:11

"Thou wilt say then unto me, Why doth he yet find fault? For who hath resisted his will? Nay but, O man, who art thou that repliest against God? Shall the thing formed say to him that formed it, Why hast thou made me thus? Hath not the potter power over the clay, of the same lump to make one vessel unto honour, and another unto dishonour?" Romans 9:19-21

Answer: To demonstrate His sovereignty over His creatures. Or how else will we know Him as God Almighty.

"But the hour cometh, and now is, when the true worshippers shall worship the Father in spirit and in truth: for the Father seeketh such to worship him. God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth." John 4:23,24

"God that made the world and all things therein, seeing that he is Lord of heaven and earth, dwelleth not in temples made with hands, Neither is worshipped with men's hands, as though he needed any thing, seeing he giveth to all life, and breath, and all things." Acts 17:24,25

aka, i for one do not gloat with regards to unbelievers of the Holy Bible. But it becomes sobering and humbling to know and believe what Peter wrote in his epistle of such an act,

"And a stone of stumbling, and a rock of offence, even to them which stumble at the word, being disobedient: whereunto also they were appointed." 1 Peter 2:8

It's through unbelief that one will say anything to discount the Truth of the Holy Bible. For that's the consequence of unbelief. That's why Romans 9 is truly sobering as revealed by Paul about the elect and reprobates. For indeed God's sovereignty is truly magnified with awe.
